No it is not safe. Even prevent any type of physical contact with him. After crusting of his wound he will become non infective till that time try to avoid contct.
It can harm your baby. Even it can cause congenital abnormalities.
Hope my answer helped you. After birth vaccinate the baby.
Take care.
I wish you happy and healthy life...and a beautiful healthy baby.
